Every aspectof what I could think of was covered and more. Everythingwas well organized, people were friendly.”• “A very well-planned experience. We are more relaxed andconfident about our son attending the University. We wereconcerned about the level of support he would receive fromthe college since it is so big, but that is no longer a concern.Everyone is genuinely interested in the students, and wefeel confident that if a problem would occur, he would havethe support that he needs to get through any problems.Thank you for two wonderful days.”• “Great orientation, great presentations, great day at theU of M! It got us excited and helped reduce the anxiety forwhat is to come. Thanks for putting on a nice program!”• “I was very impressed with the orientation process. WhenI attended college over 25 years ago, I wish an orientationprogram was available. It was nice to experience this withour student and talk about what we each had learned. I feelmore at ease sending her to such a large University. Thankyou!”21
